Vietnam War PowerPoint & Guided Notes | Kennedy,Johnson,Nixon,Ford | US History

Description

Vietnam was a long and complicated undeclared war. Looking for some help in covering the Vietnam War with your U.S. History students? This ready to go slide deck (available as both a PowerPoint and Google Slides) begins with some background information about the Vichy French and Japanese occupation of Vietnam during WWII and French occupation after World War II and progresses through the end of war. The 139 slides cover the U.S. involvement in Vietnam under Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Ford. It wraps up with a look at key events after the war like the Vietnam Memorial, lifting trade sanctions and restoring diplomatic relations.

Not only does this download include the slide deck, but it also includes 13 pages of fill in the blank guided notes to keep your students engaged and on task!

It’s also flexible! The text in the slide deck is editable AND an editable PowerPoint version of the fill in the blank guided notes (without the fancy fonts and clip art) is included! You can add something specific to the slide deck and notes that your state standards include or delete something that your curriculum doesn’t cover. You can also add more blanks to the guided notes or take some away.

As if that wasn’t enough! The download includes both print and digital guided notes (Google Slides and fillable PDF options) to give you even more classroom flexibility.

Its flexible design is purposefully created to make your life easier!
